I appreciate your honesty. People do not always realize the shortcomings of the family, friends or community. Could you imagine what an AA family would be put through if they adopted a CC child? I’m a realist. Personally, I feel that I could raise a child of any race but chose not to. I started out trying to adopt from the state and have been offered many CC children, 2 AA, 2 biracial (AA/CC) and 0 Hispanic. We turned down all the CC situations…I knew that there were CC families sitting and willing to wait the 5 years to get them. Adopting from the state is a whole story in itself and leaves just about everyone angry at some point. The 2 AA children were older than what we could handle would never be adoptable. We took the two biracial children and had to give them back in the end. As it turned out the children looked like they could have been our biological children. They were a perfect blend of my husband and me. The older child was darker than us and the baby was only 4 months old and had not ended up with her final color.
As a matter of fact, we got the older child because the foster family (CC) that had him thought he was too dark to be biracial. They thought he belonged with an AA family.
